Firefly Scout Field Notes
This is where I share field notes from the work of navigating a complex, heart-led life, blending personal experience with practical insight.
You’ll find thoughtful essays, practical frameworks, and experience-based guidance — rooted in real life, nervous-system awareness, and pattern noticing.
These aren’t personal diary entries or quick takes. They’re reflections meant to help you orient, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and move forward with more clarity and ease.
Take what’s useful. Leave the rest.
Reframe Your Life
This week we are focusing on reframing our stories and giving new life, new perspective to the things we believe and tell ourselves. It’s like changing up the recipe of your life, just a little tweak can take it a whole new direction. Are you ready to try a new recipe for your life?
Know Yourself
These past two weeks spring is in the air and it feels like a great time to let our inner light shine. You are your longest companion, yet we don’t fully know what makes us light up. How often do you take a look within yourself, open yourself up to moments of enlightenment, facing potentially difficult realizations and feelings? Knowing yourself better, taking action toward your goals, your passions, showing up for yourself every day is how you grow your glow.

How much do you really know about yourself? How often do you do a deep dive into your soul or have a moment of pause to receive a flash of knowing? In the often self-imposed chaos of life, of motherhood, we don’t take the time for uncovering insights into our most precious souvenir of this life- ourselves.
Getting Started Living a Life You Love
This week is about being a glow-getter and I realized that maybe you need a little help to get you over the hump of getting started!
To identify your goals you have to know what’s important to you, who you really are and what’s holding you back.
Let it show
Today I’m celebrating beauty, the beauty all around us but more importantly, within us; recognizing what makes us beautiful individuals and what makes us glow from the inside.
Celebrate
Today would have been my mom’s 71st birthday. This is one of my favorite pictures of her and I keep a copy by my desk. It was taken 30 years ago and I’m the same age as her in this photo. That feels completely weird to say, that anything that feels so close to my heart could be three decades old.
Change our hearts
Today I want to talk about our hearts, and opening them to change. Did you know that the heart develops before the brain? It is our first source of energy. We don't have consciousness yet, but it establishes a knowing within us.
You are not alone
A common theme I'm hearing (and experiencing) is feeling like we're in a low point. The celebration of the holidays (though different this year) still brought something to look forward to, even if it was just putting 2020 behind us. The days are feeling long and the year stretching out endlessly before us. The optimism and hope we carried as we set our resolutions is wearing thin. We're feeling that sense of depression and anxiety, whispering sweet terror like "I thought things would be different by now" or "How am I going to keep going?"
